Changes: Viaduct Courtyard

Revision as of 09:04, 25 May 2011

The Entrance Courtyard is a cloister at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This is where a lot of students have their free time playing gobstones and duelling. It is made of stone, and it has dragon shaped torches surrounding the courtyard.

Behind the scenes

DH - Voldemort VS — The final duel in the Courtyard.

The Entrance Courtyard does not feature in any of the Harry Potter books. It is an invention of the film-makers.
This courtyard first appeared in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. In the first three films, the Entrance Hall Antechamber was here instead.
In the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, this courtyard was where most students witnessed the departure of Fred and George Weasley and where Dolores Umbridge sacked Sybill Trelawney as Divination Professor of Hogwarts which was witnessed by many students and staff, as opposed to the Entrance Hall in the novel.
In the film adaptation of Deathly Hallows, the final duel between Voldemort and Harry takes place in this courtyard. In this film, the Courtyard is enlarged and a large archway is added opposite the entrance to the Entrance Hall, connecting the Courtyard to a bridge similar to the Viaduct.

Entrance Courtyard totally devastated.
In the video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix and video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, the entrance to the Headmaster's office is located here. Whereas, in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the entrance was located in a mixed courtyard between the Entrance and Middle Courtyards, as the Entrance Courtyard had not been built yet.
This was one of the two courtyards built at Leavesden Studios, the other being the Transfiguration. The set used for the Clock Tower Courtyard was renovated into the Entrance Courtyard after Prisoner of Azkaban.
The original, smaller version of this courtyard was built at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. It is the only Hogwarts courtyard in the park.
